What is Titan Tissue Tightening?
The Titan is the first light-based solution for deep skin tightening. The proceudre is non-surgical and uses safe, infrared light instead of radio frequency to cause the collagen in the skin's dermis to contract and tighten. It can be used in all areas of the body where tighter skin is desired. While the infrared energy is heating the dermis, the Titan's continuous-contact, cooling handpiece is keeping the skin's outer layer cool and comfortable.
Since the Titan uses infrared light to heat the tissues below the skin's surface, all patients concered with loose or sagging skin, regardless of skin type or color, may benefit from Titan Tissue Tightening.The Procedure
Tissue tightening with the Titan is done in Dr. Miller's office. The procedure takes about an hour depending upon the size of the area treated. Most patients do not require any anesthetic. However, some patients prefer to take a mild oral or topical pain reliever beforehand.During your procedure the Titan's computer-controlled delivery device is guided over your treatment area. You will feel a warming sensation as the Titan's infrared energy is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin. The energy causes the collagen support tissues to contract and tighten. The underside of the hadpiece provides cooling to your skin's surface, protecting it and keeping you more comfortable during the treatment.What are the benefits of Titan Tissue Tightening?
